Pic rel is my great-grandfather, who was brought to the US from Finland as an infant. He was brought up in the Midwest, eventually got his own farm, and raised four kids on his own after his wife left him and abandoned her children.

The man grew his own crops, raised his own livestock, traded with local Amish families, took his kids to school and church. He's not the only silent gen/greatest gen I know of that was like that either, so wtf happened to people (men AND women)? It's like the code of honor was broken and no one feels a sense of duty anymore.

Suburbinization following world war 2 meant that masculine qualities like strength and violence were deincentivized in favor of herbivore office drone culture. That is how you ended up with parents that teach their children to "voice their feelings" when in danger and depend on authorities for protection instead of simply injuring anyone that tries to humiliate them.

>muh suburbas
>t. woke leftist/zigger demoralization shill who wants us to live in 15 minute cities

The problem isn't "muh suburbs", it's the anti-white commie fucks like you who have spent the last century trying to destroy our nation and subvert American culture.

Suburbs made whites lose their balls

Rednecks still exist, farmers still exist. People call us white trash and don't respect us like you do. Whole lotta people only give a damn about a dollar sign, rednecks are not materialist. Plenty of people living hard and poor and not even Uncle Sam gives a damn. Not celebs on your feed, not on your news network or social media highlights. And to be honest a lot of people like this enjoy real privacy. You don't go down five miles of a winding country trail to show up without a reason and permission. That's not a wrong turn.

The 20th-century spawned a new branch of American™ that was centered on fads and consumerism. The prime example of the result of that shift was Trump.
The original American™ you are talking about is embodied by people like Massie, who still live by the principles America was founded upon.

>do you have family, who will support you?
>do you have valuable skills or do you speak good english?
"No" to all three? Fuck you, go back to Wherever.

Country people are good to you if you are a good person. Country people are incredibly selfless and kind, godly as well. Will give you food for free without asking. Lot of people that care more about the Lord than a dollar bill.

The ultimate red pill is that those rugged, ultra high T/masculine men fell for overly feminine women and produced low T/feminine men as a result. In my personal experience, grandpa was 6'5" and grandma was 4'11 and they had dad who was 5'10".

Why? Very odd for a woman of that time period to do so esp with children.

Population growth happened, among other things such as Jewish subversion, immigration, etc. However, population growth is one of the biggest drivers of the loss of the lifestyle that you describe. The United States is compromised of a finite amount of land. The amount of arable land is a small fraction of it. The population in 1900 was 76 million. It is 340 million today. There are more than four times as many people here now. That carries significant consequences.

maybe go outside and touch grass, get some sun? There are plenty of those kind of men around- if you disagree, you are a pathetic liar and a moron. If you go around communities where these type of men belong to, you may actually meet them and learn from them.

>community outreach/religious organizations

they are around, you just do not see them due to the nature of their career. Just because you are terminally online, doesn't mean they are. picrelated is you, faggot OP

look up how much money it cost to buy a farm
then get a grip on reality since you'll find you're delusional

you're appealing to a generation where HIS wife ran off and abandoned her kids. Nothing has changed with people, only the people who run society(jews).
